Th all whom-lit may concern.;

Be it known that I, PARKER. IVINEMAN, a

.1 citizen ofthe United States, residing: at Chicago, -in lthe county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fastening Devices,4 of

" which the following, -taken in connection with the drawing, is a description.

-My invention has for its lobject the pro-v duction of a fastening d evice designed to'be used more. particularly in adjustably securing together two vseparate garments, such for instance as the collar and the neck band of ashirt or waist, or the belt line of a vshirt waist and the waistband of'a skirt.

'One of the objects of my invention'is to provide such a fastening device which is so simple in .construction that it can be readily. attached and detached, and one which is capable ofasli'ghtly lateral adjustment of one garment Ato theother aft'er being secured in' place. .v 7

A further object of myinvention is to provide'such a device which may be formed' from a single piece of material so that there are no pieces .to.come apart or become de tached froinreachl other.

In the accompanying construction, and have shown the same as I garment andas applied tothe back of a.

applied to'a collar and the neck band .of a

' 'r ladys shirt waist and the waist band of a dress skirt, and in these drawings Figure .1 is a plan view 'of the inside of a collar having my attachment secured. thereto; Fig. 2

is a plan View of the outside'ofa collar with my attachment secured thereto; Fig'.` 3 is an enlarged detail taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the device detached from the garmentyFig.' 5 is' a plan View of the blank out of which the device is formed; Fig. G is a sectional view of a fragmentary portion of a Shirt waistland Skirt with my fastening device securing them together, and Fig.` 7 is a view taken on line 6 6 of Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is a fragmentary detail of a skirt band with the fastening devlce secured thereto.

Referring to the drawing A represents the blank out of which the fastening device is formed, and which is an elongated strip of metal as shown in Fig. 5. A tongue or pro' j ection a extending toward thecenter ofv the blank is formed in one end thereof -by drawings I have' illustratedfmy fasteningv device 1n what I ynow consider `tobe the preferred form of cut out of the metal as shown in Figs. 4 and Iii line with the integral end of the .tongue and extending transversely of the blankare the shouldersa, a which are formed by bending the metal of the blank away from the tongue-or 51mm in Fig. i,

n At approximately the center of the'A blank lt is bent upwardly upon'itself as shown in projection af 'as Fig. 4. so that the two ends of the blank are TED STATES vieArni \ri camion.V

practically even, the ends 5,6' of the blank are slightly curved to facilitate handling the 'device in attaching -it to and detaching itv from the garments upon which 'it is used.

`In bending the metal `to the shape shown in Fig. 4 a, sucient space is left'between the two halves of the fastening device so that the-neck band orl skirt band may be passed between them, the inwardly extending shoulders a', a. providing for .the recep-1 tion of the collar or band between the hook ay and theA body-of the fastener back of the hook.

In Fig.` 1 is shown the inside, B, of the collar, with the -inner half of the fastening device extending therefrom, theportion of the fastener B opening upwardly ready to be engaged under the neck band c of the garment C (Fig. 3). .If desired 'the upper end of the device upon the outside of a standing. 'collarmay be turned over to form a hook as at c (Fig.'3) bymeans of which the neck tiel may be .heldin place at 'the back of the cure the Vskirt b and to the back of a shirt waist, ithe position of the fastener isppreferably, although not necessarily, reversed'as shown more clearly in Fig. 6. In this construction al band Z may be stitched as at d',

d', to the back of the shirt waist D at the waist line. D :represents'the skirt .which is provided with the usual waist band Z2,.

through which is opening als. The fastening device is secured through the opening da inl the 4skirt band inthe same manner described in the colla i', wi th the` exception that the hook is turned in theopposite direction to end B of the fastener' down over the band d on the -shirt Waist, instead of being hooked up under the neck band aS shown inFig. 3. TWO or more of these fastening devices would preferably beused ill-'securing the skirt to the waist, loutl as the operation would be the suine in each instance, only one is illustrated. I claim:- 4 A fastening device comprising a single piece of metal having a tongue formed therein with an integral bar at each side thereof connecting the end portions of the metal. shoulders formed in said bars at the 15 junctions with -the integral end of the tongue, said metal piece being bent to forni a U-shaped loop with the ends of the metal extending in a direction opposite -the free end of the tongue, substantially as described. In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed this specification in the presence of two subscribingWitnesses.
